Study Notes
Proactive Care Delivery System
- A coordinated, team-based approach enhances patient care through planned visits.
- Focuses on improving community health and outcomes for populations with chronic conditions, such as diabetes.
Improving Care and Promoting Health
- Self-management support empowers patients to manage their conditions effectively.
- Decision support utilizes evidence-based care guidelines to standardize treatment approaches.
- Clinical information systems leverage registries for patient-specific and population-level health data.
Population Health and Diabetes
- Population health assesses health outcomes in groups, focusing on the distribution of health and wellness.
- Emphasizes early intervention in individuals with prediabetes or conditions related to obesity.
Diabetes Screening and Diagnosis
- Criteria for prediabetes: A1C 5.7–6.4%, fasting plasma glucose 100–125 mg/dL, oral glucose tolerance test 140–199 mg/dL.
- Criteria for diabetes: A1C ≥6.5%, fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL, oral glucose tolerance test ≥200 mg/dL, random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL with symptoms.
- Monitoring for diabetes development is recommended at least annually for those with prediabetes.
Glucose Monitoring and Assessment
- A1C tests should be conducted biannually for stable patients, quarterly for those with treatment changes.
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) offers advanced metrics and visual reports for better treatment guidance.
A1C Goals and Treatment Decisions
- Recommended A1C goal for many adults is <7% (53 mmol/mol) to reduce complications.
- Lower A1C targets may be appropriate for some patients, taking into account safety and individual circumstances.
Metabolic Surgery Considerations
- Evaluation for psychological and social factors is vital prior to metabolic surgery.
- Post-surgery mental health support is recommended for effective adjustment to lifestyle changes.
Pharmacologic Approaches to Glycemic Treatment
- Type 1 diabetes treatment typically involves multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).
- For type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 receptor agonists are preferred to insulin for additional glucose control.
Cardiovascular Risk Reduction
- Aspirin use is effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity for high-risk patients with prior events.
- CVD risk factors warrant careful screening for diabetes, especially in patients on statins, given potential diabetes risk.
Combination Therapy Recommendations
- Combining statins with other therapies (such as fibrates or niacin) has not shown significant benefits in ASCVD outcomes.
- Assess individual risk factors carefully when deciding on the use of aspirin for primary prevention.
